I can understand that it might not be hockey talent and that somehow Kylington/Andersson had lost favor with the Swedish team selectors after being in the u-18 program and WJC tryouts They were not deemed as vital to team success as the 6 other players on the Swedish WJC team that were playing in North America
OM played every bit as well as Hickey at the WJC.
Is NCAA that much better than the SHL?
Do CP posters/voters have an anti-size bias? big=bad?

For me it's his footspeed and agility, meaning he looks clumsy at times when defending high skill players. From what I've seen he looks like the kind of defenseman who would get turned inside out by NHL forwards. If he gets better at it he could be a solid NHL player.
